What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar

Physics

<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

circumference= 65/3  cm = 21.67 cm

radius R = 3.45 cm

Explanation:

To calculate the length of the circumference of the cylinder, we divide 650 cm by 30 (the number of times it wrapped exactly around it)

length of circumference= 65/3  cm = 21.67 cm

now use the formula of the circumference length to find the radius (R):

circumference length = 2 * pi * R

65/3 = 2 * pi * R

R = 65 / (6 pi)

R = 3.45 cm

Energy transformation in wound spring of a toy car?<br>give your own answrr​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The work done in winding the spring gets stored in the wound up spring in the form of elastic potential energy (i.e potential energy due to change in shape). ... During this process, the potential energy stored in it gets converted to kinetic energy. This turns the wheels of the toy car.
